Sometimes in life you meet a crossroad,
and you have to decide which road is best for you to take.
If you turn one way,
you are faced with a consequence.
If you turn the other way,
you are still faced with a consequence.
You know you don't want to look back,
but you can't just press on either.
I look to see which way is best for me,
and then I see if I can live with whatever consequence it brings.
Down one road I see him.
He is beckoning for me,
begging for forgiveness,
but I look a little further beyond him,
and I see my enemy,
hiding behind the trees,
smiling an evil smile,
about to approach him.
I know if I take this road,
I will constantly worry about losing him for my enemy once again,
while I look into the future,
knowing he probably won't be around when I need him,
and knowing that I love him but if I try to let go,
he will pull me back by a rope around my neck,
secretly planning our next break up.
Down the other road I see someone else who cares about me.
He is also beckoning for me,
but with a smile so sincere,
no trace of deception in his eyes,
as he's calling my name,
and when I look further beyond him,
I see no trace of anything to make me worry,
just a real-life fairytale.
I know if I take this road,
I will be treated better than I deserve, better than ever,
while I once again look into the future,
knowing he'll probably always be there,
and never understanding why I deserve who is probably the sweetest guy in the world,
who I am also attached to, but by nothing specific,
just completely attached.
Down the road behind me,
I see utter chaos and confusion,
cheating and lying,
hurt and anger,
tears and blood,
false happiness,
no truth,
and all of this pain caused by my first option once again.
I want to smash the rearview mirror,
so I never have to look back,
and destroy this road,
scattered by broken pieces of my heart,
painful memories I wish to leave behind,
and most of all,
the life I knew before I met someone else, showing me the life I could have.
Down the road ahead of me,
I see my whole future playing before my eyes,
ever-changing with my mind,
but when it pauses for a minute,
I see myself with the one who loves me,
who would treat me better,
and I seem happy,
without the one I thought I couldn't live without,
but here I am,
and my heart is still beating,
and I am still breathing,
and I am living without the one I thought was my life,
and for once,
I'm not worried or scared.
and you have to decide which road is best for you to take.
If you turn one way,
you are faced with a consequence.
If you turn the other way,
you are still faced with a consequence.
You know you don't want to look back,
but you can't just press on either.
I look to see which way is best for me,
and then I see if I can live with whatever consequence it brings.
